thanks, now I'm probably on a list

Get another dog. I would if I had a little garden for them. It sounds like you already know you should/want to.

This is an unbelievably atrocious response. Where is your humanity?

I don't think there ever will be a perfect trust system, because ultimately everything can be gamed, or politics/power can overrule the logic that runs the rules of the trust game. But even so, something that can be applied for _some_ period of time, with _some_ semblance of stability, and _some_ epistemic utility value to the real world is still worth trying to pursue.

This asymmetry is IMO the biggest problem with AI-driven output. Brandolini's law applies here. I don't know if anyone has figured out strategies on how to deal with these barrages and deluges of "slop grenades", and this loosely applies to event coherent and high quality LLM output. Sure LLMs are advanced now, but largely the output depends on the quality of the input prompts (as in how they're contextualized and guided).

Life has gotten to the point where completely non-technical people have gawked at me for still having a job related to software. In their minds, AI can it all, and in their minds coding is already obsolete. The sample size for these opinions will only grow and the ratio of people that rightfully apply skepticism will drop, either from fatigue or burn out or by virtue of more and more people adopting the "AI is roughly AGI" crowd. For me a good metaphor is the concept of the selfie. Everyone mocked selfies at first, and now you'd be deemed insane to negatively opine about selfie behaviour. The same will apply to AI slop grenades (even of high quality output) in due time. I think it's inevitable.

Endless hoardes of people can now unleash never-ending arguments and suggestions and it feels like it will become impossible to defend against them because one minute only contains 60 seconds of time that you can spend refuting a false or <100% correct suggestion.

Can anyone provide links to literature or projects whose goals are to build, maintain, or support trust? Or to be less vague, I'm interested in learning about protocols or models that deal with reputation scores, rewards and punishments etc. for networks or groups.

Various crypto projects fundamentally deal with proving X and their networks comprise of entities that are rewarded or punished for either fair, deceptive, or erroneous actions... so maybe some kind of consolidated info about that "grouping" of information would be a good place for me to start. I am curious about learning more about these concepts insofar as how they can apply to situations like this (OSS or community-based contributions towards a shared goal or a shared ecosystem of behaviours or tasks) where various entities (people, organisations, NOT agents/bots) with longitudinal reputation/state coordinate or interact.

I hope I'm making sense...

I just want the volcano to erupt

these are really good heuristics, thanks! I am going to adopt this in my writing/editing processes.

off-topic but nice username. Fan of Charlie Kelly?

68% of South Africans have bought or own BTC? There is simply no way. Impossible.

I really really wish that LLMs had an "eject" function - as in I could click on any message in a chat, and it would basically start a new clone chat with the current chat's thread history.

There are so many times where I get to a point where the conversation is finally flowing in the way that I want and I would love to "fork" into several directions from that one specific part of the conversation.

Instead I have to rely on a prompt that requests the LLM to compress the entire conversation into a non-prose format that attempts to be as semantically lossless as possible; this sadly never works as in ten did [sic].

such a useful response, thanks

In December, yes. Otherwise the Ruski are most delicious

where is this guideline text from? Want to explore, tx.

Nice, now can any cuneiform nerds that have an interest in Ramses III guide me to any quote that roughly translates to "violence is necessary against Isfet". For the life of me, I cannot seem to find any reference to it although I've got it in my notes from... somewhere?

This is amazing!

I think this is the reference but I'm too lazy to get a TLDR https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24917679

just saw this after my post https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=41980334 - sorry @dang

OP said effectively zero, not zero. These are semantically very different.
